Contract: Full Time (hybrid 3:2)

Location: Düsseldorf

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Curate Group is a dynamic events and experiences company, creating unforgettable moments that bring people together. We specialise in unique, high-quality live events - from large scale festivals, immersive concerts, cultural experiences and corporate events partnering with some of the world’s most exciting brands.

One of our core event brands, Lumos Experiences, is one of the most distinctive live entertainment concepts, creating atmospheric candlelit musical concerts that transform unexpected spaces into something genuinely magical. We're growing fast, running multiple shows per week across new cities and countries and we're looking to invest in a highly organised Head of Regional Events to support our expansion and ongoing running of our shows across Germany.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Head of Regional Events owns the day-to-day performance of their assigned hub, overseeing bookings, marketing, operations, finance, sales and customer experience to ensure every show is profitable, well-run and continuously improving. The role is focused on scaling and growing the region.

You are the senior local decision-maker, accountable for performance, team alignment and execution and responsible for planning, people management and performance tracking to consistently deliver Lumos standards.

Working closely with HQ based in London, you will implement regional strategy and lead teams on the ground to deliver a seamless, five-star experience at every Lumos show. The role starts hands-on and quickly evolves into leading a growing regional team as the market scales, while retaining end-to-end ownership of regional operations.

Weekend availability is essential, as you will attend and oversee key events to uphold Lumos’ operational and brand standards.
